#devore speakers

Hi Everyone,

For anyone that has been in the shop over the last couple of years will know that I have become a bit of a fan of DeVORE FIDELITY Speakers and I am delighted to say that we now have the new O/Bronze speakers on demo in the stunning American Walnut finish meaning that we now have every speaker DeVORE Fidelity produce on demo, everything from the Micr/O all the way up to the incredible O/Reference's.

DeVORE Fidelity are now one of our top speaker brands with so many people loving their big open soundstage and natural presentation, I know it is a cliche but they really do bring the artist into the room so when I saw that DeVORE had a new and improved version of their multi award winning O/96 speaker I placed my order for a demo pair straight away. Now I must be honest I absolutely love the O/96's and I was very sceptical how much of an improvement the O/Bronze could bring to the party as obviously they look the same with just the Bronze trim round the drivers and the ports at the rear but how wrong was I, these really take everything we like about the O/96's to the next level, they may look very similar but John DeVORE really has worked his magic again.

For the demo setup I used the Trafomatic Rhapsody 300B integrated amp along with the new dCS Lina X Dac/Streamer with Atlas Arran cables, for me this is a really well balanced system to go with the O/Bronzes that admittedly isn't cheap but certainly isn't crazy money compared to what can be spent in HiFi and it creates a pretty special audio experience in my view.

Firstly they share the tweeter from the O/Reference's so straight away you get a much sweeter top end, thanks also to the new 10" paper cone woofer and cast Bronze chassis from the O/References there is no doubt to me that there is a touch more warmth in the mid but it is the bass weight and depth that I just can't get over, the bass is quite different from the O/96's, it is so tight, fast and powerful, it keeps catching me out, it really is damn addictive, without trying to sound like too much of a fan boy I would go as far to say that the O/Bronze is the perfect speaker, I have to say that I am quite excited to get the Wilson Sabrina V on demo to compare against these, I know that they are very different speakers but they are both around that £30k mark so I can see this being a really popular demo going forward.

So basically the O/Bronze is a O/96 taken to the next level and improved in every single area, not by a huge amount but enough to make them a very special speaker indeed. When we unboxed them last Saturday I stayed at work till pretty late as I just couldn't stop trying different tracks, I just couldn't pull myself away and they really did excel at every genre of music I threw at them, from Buddy Holly to Rammstein, these really are a speaker that can play anything exceptionally well.

So as you can tell I am a bit of a fan and I can see quite a few O/96 customers upgrading to Bronzes's going forward as the improvements are there to be heard quite clearly, obviously the O/96's are still an incredible speaker but it is brilliant that DeVORE now offer a speaker that helps fill the gap up to the O/Reference, for me the O/Bronze is basically a 2 box version of the O/Reference's for £90,000 cheaper, now that really can't be bad news, I am actually putting together a 2nd system at home and now I have heard the O/Bronzes nothing else will do, luckily Wendy loves them too.

So I'll shut now but if you would like to come in for a demo anytime please feel free, I have had them running for 2 weeks now everyday and they are now really starting to open up.

Hi All,

I really don't know what the DeVore Fidelity magic is but there really is something special with their speakers, I don't think I've ever had a reaction to any speakers we have bought on over the last 10 years+ that I have with the DeVore Orangutan O/96 speakers, they have been universally loved by everyone that has listened to them, being that HiFi is such a personal thing that is really saying something.

So as I look to bring on their whole range of DeVore speakers for demo, yes I am totally smitten too, the next one we now have are the DeVore Orangutan O/baby speakers, these are basically a shrunk down O/96, needless to say as soon as they arrived I unboxed them and got them up and running to see if they too have the DeVore magic that we fell in love with when listening to our O/96's and O/93's and I am pleased to report they really do, it is a different sound but still so engaging, natural and big, they don't have quite the airiness and separation of their bigger siblings but it is more of a solid sound but when you look at the speakers they really do defy belief in the presentation of the music they portray, for £6298 + £1398 for the stands they really are well worth putting on any speaker demo list + in the white oak finish they do look gorgeous in my view.

Anyway next we have the Micr/O's in bound which are due soon then we will start to explore the more convention floorstanding Gibbon range which also get stunning reviews, I've said to anyone that will listen that discovering DeVore Fidelity speakers has been a real eye opener and a real breath of fresh air as they really do offer something alternative and just present the music in a totally engrossing and captivating way.

We have actually just agreed to exhibit the DeVore range at the UK Audio Show over the weekend of October 7th and 8th as I am just so keen for as many people to hear them as possible, more news to follow on this soon, tickets available below though for anyone who may be interested -

Please find a link below to the DeVore Fidelity range of speakers and if you would like to come in to experience any of the range please feel free to get in touch to make an appointment.

All the best,

Paul.
